Hey guys! This one on the left is something new I wanted to do. I wanted to draw a figure on a background. I've mostly seen this technique in a lot of manga's (Japanese word voor comics) and I wanted to give it a try. I began with a sketch to get the pose right. Then I did something I didn't know I could do...I got straight down to inking!
Suprisingly on the first try I did OK so I went with it. I looked for a beachy backround and pasted it on the back. It fitted perfectly, the only thing was the fact that she was transparent,
What!?! So I put up another layer and coloured it white, I erased the overlapping white strokes along the outlines and there she was again.
The last layer I did was the shadow layer. The cool thing in doing this is when I wanted to draw the shadow of her legs above the water I kinda went further and intentionally drew the silhouette of her lower legs. This gave it a look as if it was really submerged. I decided it was finished and posted it. Enjoy!
